Tonight kicks off the 2008-2009 NHL Season. For those lucky few that have the VS cable station, the NHL Season kicks off with the defending Stanley Cup Champions hosting their long-time Original Six rival the Toronto Maple Leafs. What a great way to kick off the season, and yet a shame that it will be the only visit from Toronto again this year. In an attempt to mimic the NFL the NHL is kicking off the season with a rock concert from British Arena Rock band Def Leppard. Although not prog, I know that there are at least some of my fellow proggers that enjoy or grew up on Def Leppard.
Anyhow, as I did last year, I have created this thread this year for us hockey fans to talk about all things hockey. Let's Go Red Wings!!!!! and watch out for that puck

They are actually having the concert at the Fox Theater which is down the street from the game at Joe Louis Arena. It is my understanding that Def Leppard is going to kick off the opening ceremony with their new song C'Mon C'Mon which they will play at the Fox, but it will be broadcast on the screen at the Joe and also on VS. They are then supposed to show the game and banner raising ceremony on the big screen at the Fox Theater so the fans that couldn't get tickets at the Joe can watch the ceremony and the game. After the game Def Leppard is supposed to perform their concert.
My boss has season tickets and I was hoping that I might be able to go with him, but I didn't make the cut this year. I'm probably not going to the concert, although that is still an outside possibility. I will probably be watching the game and whatever they show of the concert from home. -------------

As far as Montreal goes, I know that they were really good last year but disappointed in the playoffs. I suspect that they are going to be in the mix again this year. I'm not really too familiar with them though. Being in the Eastern Conference, the Wings rarely play them so I am not sure how good they are or for that matter what improvements they made in the offseason. -------------

With all the time I spend here who could blame him. Opening day is pretty big and he has a big family and some important clients so they take priority over me. Generally, I am pretty lucky and I am able to go to 4 or 5 games a year. Last year, I was able to go to game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals with him and that was extremely awesome. I went to opening day last year, but I bought the tickets a week before the game when I was down there for an exhibition game. I didn't make it to any exhibition games this year, and because of the banner ceremony the tickets sold out pretty quickly. -------------

The Canadiens have a really good chance at making it to the finals if Price plays well in the playoffs. MOst of the goalies I play with rave about his stance being near perfect. Avs look like the same team as last year, no Forsberg yet. They should make the playoffs again this year. -------------

Go Sharks... hopefully the new coach and a revamped blueline will get these guys past the second round. Although I think the focus of the revamp was wrong. Rivet, Carle and McLaren gone...Errorhoff and Vlasic still there. 3.5 million a year for 3 years on a guy (Errorhoff) who is a virtually guarenteed 10-15 defensive zone turnover per game guy.

Yeah, it was the first time that I've had a chance to see the Wings play in the Finals. I've seen them play in the playoffs before and those games are quite electric, but with the Finals the electricity in the building was amped up even more. Surprisingly, there were quite a few Penguins fans that were able to get tickets too. -------------

Campbell was a microcosm of the Sharks as a team. Great regular season, playoff no-show. That spin-o-rama thing was cute the first time when he scored a goal, but downright embarrassing the few times he tried it in the playoffs and got put on his butt. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow"> https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

I've got the picture-in-picture guy's sports heaven going right now with two 3 to 1 games going on. The Phillies lead the Rays 3 to 1 in the 5th inning of game 1 of the World Series, and Keith Tkachuk just scored a power play goal for the St. Louis Blues to bring them within 3 to 1 of the Red Wings. Go Wings!!! -------------

Feebs, should be glad to know that I am forgoing my beauty sleep in order to watch the Wings play in Anaheim. They currently lead the Ducks 2-1 with about 5:30 minutes to go in the 2nd period.
Correction: Zetterberg just scored a power play goal and the Wings now lead 3-1 with 3:30 to go in the 2nd period.
Correction #2: Teemu Selanne just scored his second 5 on 3 goal of the game to make the score 3-2 going into the 2nd intermission.
Correction #3: Teemu Selanne now has a hat trick and the game is tied 3-3.
Correction #4: Bryan Sotheby has scored for the Ducks and they now lead 4-3 with about 5 minutes to go in the game.
 Correction #5: Yeah. Zetterberg just scored his 2nd goal of the game with 1 minute and 23 seconds left to tie the game 4-4.
 Correction #6: The Wings just got hosed on an overtime goal that was knocked in with a high stick. The refs allowed the goal and the Ducks win 5-4. -------------

Hmmm. I haven't stopped in this thread in a few weeks; and neither has anyone else for that matter. The Wings are up visiting our friends in the Great White North again with a stopover in Calgary. The last time the Red Wings were shut out, was last year by Calgary and Mikka Kiprusoff (sp?) A few minutes in to the game, and there will be no shut out tonight, as the Red Wings lead 1 - 0. -------------

The Red Wings scored a couple of late goals and an empty netter to beat the Calgary Flames 5 to 2. Next up is a visit to King By-Tor and the Vancouver Canucks on Monday. According to our broadcast, Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo injured his groin this afternoon, so is not likely to play on Monday. -------------

The Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks are playing "pond" hockey at Wrigley Field today on national television (NBC). Unfortunately, I suspect that competing with the New Year's Bowl games, nobody is watching. Heck, they're going head to head against the Michigan State Spartans playing the Georgia Bulldogs, so the Red Wings are probably losing half of their audience right there.
Anyhow, the Blackhawks just scored a power play goal and lead the Red Wings 2 to 1 in the 1st period. -------------

Great game last night!!! The Red Wings looked awesome. They beat the Stars 6 to 1, scoring 2 goals in each period. The Stars goalie, Marty Turco, played college hockey at the University of Michigan. For whatever reason, as good of a goalie as he is, he has an absolutely atrocious record against the Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena. I can't remember if he has ever beat the Wings in Detroit, but if he has, is record would still be something like 2 wins and 20 losses. -------------

Yeah!!!! Again. Kris Draper just scored his 7th goal of the season to give the Red Wings a 3 to 1 lead. After Colorado's Claude "The Turtle" Lemieux rearranged Kris' face with a nasty hit into the boards all of those years ago to start this nasty little rivalry it is great to see Kris extract a bit more revenge from the Avs. -------------

Colorado scored with a minute and a half left to make it 3 to 2, but the Red Wings held on to win by that score, and they now have the top record in the NHL. I am kind of surprised that they didn't make any deals at the deadline. The Red Wings always seem to pick up a big name or 2 at the deadline so it is quite surprising that they stayed pat this year. -------------

looks like the Eastern Conference is f**ked hahahhaPenguins call up Satan http://myespn.go.com/conversation/story?id=4059365 -
Associated PressPITTSBURGH -- Longtime NHL forward Satan has cleared waivers and been recalled by Pittsburgh as the Penguins end the regular season and head to the playoffs. The move was announced Friday. Satan had 17 goals and 19 assists in 65 games with Pittsburgh before being sent to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL in a salary cap move at the March 4 trading deadline. Satan was demoted after Pittsburgh picked up forwards http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=329 - Bill Guerin , http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=2179 - Chris Kunitz and http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=3 - Craig Adams before the deadline. At Wilkes-Barre, Satan had three goals and six assists in 10 games. He rejoins the Penguins in time for Saturday's regular-season finale at Montreal and the start of the playoffs next week. He has 15 goals and 23 assists in 56 career playoff games.

Satan was a Detroit Viper, the former local minor league hockey team in his first year in professional hockey and their first year of existence. They also had Sergei Samsonov and Petr Sikora who both have had pretty lengthy, although nothing spectacular, NHL careers. Sadly their careers have lasted longer than the Vipers existence. -------------

Wow! pretty good hockey, no? The playoffs are amazing the Caps vs Pens is awe inspiring , both Ovechkin and Crosby and that guy Varlamov! (not just that save of the century in game 2!) but the Wings pounded by the Ducks? Vancouver rebounding, Carolina rebounding, just insane intensity! Some of the best hockey ever....... Could be 4 game sevens! Would that not be insane? ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

Whew!!!! The Wings beat the Mother Duckers 4 to 3 last night to win the series 4 to 3 and move on to face the Chicago Black Hawks in the Western Conference finals. Way too close for comfort, but I am definitely elated that they are moving on.
The Pittsburgh/Washington series was one for the ages. I have a feeling that with Crosby and Ovechkin this won't be the last time these two teams meet in the playoffs.
I'm sorry to see Carolina beat the Boston Bruins. I was really hoping that the Wings would get a chance to play the Bruins in the finals for an Original Six matchup. Bruins goalie Tim Thomas played here in the minors for the Detroit Vipers back when he was just a young pup. He was a horrible goalie, and it is absolutely amazing to hear talk about him being one of the best goalies in the NHL. After he crashed and burned with the Vipers, he moved to Switzerland, where he completely reinvented his goaltending style and became the great goalie that he now is. It would have been fun playing against him and the Bruins.
On to the Blackhawks, and another Original Six meeting. Glad to be playing a team in our general time zone. The 10:00 PM starts against the Anaheim Mother Duckers really sucked and I am glad that we don't have to endure those against the Vancouver Canucks too. -------------

Yeah Wings. Up 2 games to none over the Penguins in the Stanley Cup finals. Some lucky bounces have gone the Wings way or else it might be 2 to none the other way around. I'm a little disappointed with the league giving Malkin superstar status and waiving his automatic suspension for instigating a fight in the final 5 minutes of a game. It would have been one thing if it were just a fight, but he took 2 or 3 swings at Zetterberg with his stick before they dropped their gloves and started fighting. Oh well, hopefully it doesn't make a difference. GO WINGS!!!!! -------------

You know Rushfan, your icon riles me a little bit every time I see it ;) Go Pens. With that being said, I'd like to share how I see the handshake going after the Penguins win Friday night: Crosby: Good series, idiot Hossa: Hey Talbot: Good series, idiod Hossa (a little more indignant): Heeey! Malkin (in his thick Russian accent): eeh dee ot Hossa: Aw Come on Guerin: Idiot. Hossa: Heey, you weren't even there last year. Crosby (who has apparently skated back to go through the line again): Idiot. *grin* Go Penguins ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

Now that is what I call "looking on the bright side".
As I am sure that both NBC and the NHL are aware of, a Game 7 is going to generate millions of dollars of revenue too, which is pretty significant in this area of the world these days. And maybe, just maybe, some of it might trickle down to all of us little people. -------------

^ True, and frankly the epic nature of the newly developing rivalry between the two franchises has the potential to be one of the great rivalries in major sports. Two great teams facing each other year after year. It brings to mind the Cowbows / Steelers battles or the long time Yankees / Dodgers rivalry. Either way, it's fun to watch and I'm hopeful that the cup will return to Pittsburgh this year.

I'm hoping the Penguins can replay game 7 of the Caps series myself. Also hoping Hossa's giant alligator tears freeze to the ice and he loses the use of his face. The last thing the NHL needs is another clutch, grab, and interfere Stanley Cup champion. It's bad enough ESPN spends four times as much time covering the awful NBA playoffs as it is. ------------- Time always wins. |

O my freaking God, what a period of hockey. I am shaking and I'm not even a Pen fan, but I wanted them to win and stick it to Hossa.

Hossa is a jinx. Worst hockey I've seen the Wings @ home in a while.

Only slightly related, but I have Led Zeppelin playing right now and ironically it was on In My Time of Dying just as I hit enter. "If my Wings should fail me Lord". -------------

If the Buccos win the WS for the Trifecta this year then it will be one of the seven signs of the Apocalypse. *sigh* Buccos in 2015. |

^ hahaha. I've got 20 cyber dollars the Rangers don't even make the playoffs next year... an old team.. with little offense. Unless they have the next coming of Sid, or Ovie coming in next year. That style of play was enough 10 years ago... this league is now based on creating offense. The rules are geared towards that. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I actually havn't followed hockey for a few years I remember the Rangers being good, but that may have been 4 years ago |

they were good. .and still are... but they simply don't have any punch. They play the same style the Devils did years ago...King Henrik is as good as Marty was.. but they just had no offensive punch. as a Caps fan... it was plainly obvious the difference between the Rangers and a top team like the Penguins when you make mistakes in your own zone. With the Rangers... you could live with them... top teams kill you over those mistakes. just ask the Red Wings about that today hahha. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |
